sun is a huge ball of flaThe Sun (Latin: Sol) is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a medium size star. The Earth and other matter (including other planets, asteroids, meteoroids, comets and dust) orbit the Sun, which by itself accounts for about 99.8% of the solar system's mass. Energy from the Sun, in the form of sunlight, supports almost all life on Earth via photosynthesis, and drives the Earth's climate and weather.

now im wondering where does the sun's energy come from??? pls answer my question

The sun's energy comes from the thermo nuclear fusion reaction taking place inside the sun. The constituent particles are called as the reactant particles and the particle which we obtain after the reaction are called the resultant particles. But the masses of the reactant particles(hydrogen) is greater than the resultant particles. This difference in the masses is converted into energy. Mass and Energy are interconvertible. If a mass M is converted into energy E then E=Mc^2. If a mass of 1mg is converted into energy then the energy liberated will be 9*10^10 Joules. This is how energy is produced in the sun. Addition to this there are two reactions called as the Proton Proton Chain in which four hydrogen nuclei convert into a helium nucleus and the Carbon Cycle where the carbon acts as a catalyst.

Sun makes its own energy which is heat and light. In sun there is a very precious gas which is helium that is burnt by the heat coming out from the sun. The solar rays falling on earth in a single hour could be used for a year by the whole population of world.

The sun is really big, making the earth look tiny by comparison. The center of the sun is VERY dense and hot, kind of like the center of the earth, but the sun is a lot bigger. This is dense and hot enough to force hydrogen atoms to fuse together, breaking past the outer electrons to the nucleus.



This fusion is a reaction that, when it happens releases a lot of energy. Kind of like lighting a fire, you needs something to get it started (in this case, a dense hot environment), but once it starts it will keep going and release lots of energy.



The link below describes in greater detail the reaction of fusing hydrogen into helium.

The sunlight makes capability by using combining hydrogen into helium. This technique is named nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion creates huge quantities of capability. The sunlight fuses 430–six hundred million a brilliant number of hydrogen into each and each 2nd as suggested above. The sunlight is somewhat warm and has distinctive tension, lots that it may initiate nuclear reactions. ultimately, the sunlight will run out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. which would be in approximately 5 billion years.

the fusion of hydrogen atoms into helium releases huge amounts of energy in the sun and that's where it's light, heat, and all other forms of energy come from. the sun is basically a giant H bomb.

hi it come from fusion act between hydrogen's and 4 of them make 1 helium. from E=MC2 we will find a little mass comes to a big energy.
